SWIM.

You've gotta swim, swim for your life

Swim for the music that saves you

When you're not so sure you'll survive

You gotta swim and swim when it hurts

Then whole world is watching

You haven't come this far to fall off the earth

The currents will pull you away from your love

Just keep your bead above

I found a tidal wave begging to tear down the daen

Memories like bullets, they fired at me from a gun

Crack in the armor, yeah

I swim for brighter days despite the absence of sun

Choking on salt water

I'm not giving in, I swim

You gotta swim for nights that won't end

Swim for your family as your lovers, your sisters

And brothers, and friends

Yeah, you gotta swim through wars without cause 

Swim for the lost politicians

Who don't see their greed as a flaw

The currents will pull us away from our love

Just keep your head above 

I found a tidal wave begging to tear down the dawn

Memories like bullets, they fired at me from a gun

A crack in the armor

I swim for brighter days despite the absence of sun

Choking on salt water

I'm not giving in, well, I'm not giving in, I swim

You gotta swim, swim in the dark

There's no shame in drifting

Feel the tide shifting and wait for the spark

Yeah, you gotta swim, don't let yourself sink

Just find the horizon

I promise you, it's not as far as you think

The currents will drag us away from our love

Just keep your head above, swim

Just keep your head above, swim, swim

Just keep your head above, swim.

-Jack's Mannequin "Swim"

Things I ♥

♥ My Macbook Pro- it is barely a year old, but this little computer is just too darn pretty, durable, and perfect to pass up. This computer deserves to get a little shout out. It has been with me through many late night paper writing marathons. I love you mac! 

♥ Soy Lattes- Because without you, I know I wouldn't be awake in music theory class at 8:00 AM every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

♥ Glee!- This T.V. show sheds a light on the ever dwindling fine art programs in pubic schools. It makes me want to be a high school choir director/music teacher even more! Finally a series that shows how much music is needed in student's lives. It's a talent not given to most and when you have it, you eat, breathe, and sleep music.

♥ Potato Pancakes- I miss these half hash-brown half pancake hybrids so much! Dinning Hall food is just not the same compared to my mom's cooking.

♥ Opera- Many don't appreciate it, but it is the most passionate and painstakingly beautiful form of music mankind has ever developed. So much depth is lingering in these three to one hundred year old pieces music. I love it! Opera is my forte!

THOUGHTFUL THURSDAY.
